My mom's dream (and only request) for the wedding was that we go to “Say Yes to the Dress” in New York City to try on dresses. A fan of the show myself, I was super excited to go along with this request! For those of you who don't know the show (#SYTTD), it's a reality program on TLC based on the experience of brides as they shop for their perfect dress at Kleinfeld Bridal in the heart of NYC. The store is larger than life, featuring some of the most unique consultants you'll ever encounter (just check out the show to see what I mean)

Sister Mary Camille Neary, a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, died of pneumonia Monday at her order's motherhouse in the Woodbrook section of Baltimore County. She was 81. Born Elizabeth Katherine Neary in Baltimore and raised on Cecil Avenue, she attended St. Ann's Parochial School. She attended the Institute of Notre Dame for a year before joining the Roman Catholic religious order in 1944, when she took the name Mary Camille. She earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and later studied at Boston College.

Survivors of Hurricane Charley share a kinship with victims of another vicious hurricane that raced through the Gulf of Mexico 35 years ago this week. Camille, only the second Category-5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States during the last century, slammed headlong into the Mississippi and southeast Louisiana Gulf Coast during the evening of Aug. 17, 1969, with screaming winds that gusted up to 200 mph. Accompanied by 20-foot storm tides and rains of less than a foot, Camille exhibited such savagery that those exposed to it likely found God that night or lost their faith, as the hurricane with all its brutal destructiveness roared overhead for what seemed endless hours.

Just when you think the consumptive Marguerite Gautier has coughed for the last time, the public demands she suffer and die yet again. That has been the fate of a romantic literary character whose appeal lingers.Alexandre Dumas fils, who based Marguerite on a Parisian courtesan with whom he had an affair in the 1840s, first told her story in his novel "La Dame Aux Camelias." Its success prompted him to write an equally popular stage adaptation. This, in turn, was the basis for Verdi's opera "La Traviata."

William Camille Pierne, a city public school educator who spent his 30-year career trying to enrich the lives of his special-education students, died of cancer Wednesday at his Bel Air home. He was 57. Mr. Pierne taught special-education students at the Claremont School on Erdman Avenue and Venable Senior High School. He spent the last decade of his career at the William S. Baer School in Northwest Baltimore until retiring in 2000 because of failing health. "These were multihandicapped students who were mentally fragile and emotionally disturbed," said his wife of six months, the former Nancy Saunders, who also teaches at Baer.

As a housewife and mother of three young children ages 6, 7, and 8 living in the suburbs of Baltimore, I find myself intoxicated by the Bravo reality television series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. " I think this group -- more than any other Housewives grouping (Atlanta, New York, New Jersey or Orange County) -- symbolizes what is possible when you have millions in the bank … yet these women seem to face the same dysfunction that I experience on a daily basis, only in a fancier home with a lot more shoes.

A historic Baltimore Catholic school will name its community center in honor of Bill and Camille Cosby, the biggest donors in the school's 184-year history and fierce champions of education, the school announced Friday. St. Frances Academy, which serves 162 primarily low-income high school students, will host the comedian, his wife and their relatives in a ceremony at the St. Frances Community Center on April 20. In addition to giving $2 million to St. Frances in 2005 to support its scholarship program, Camille Cosby also has a strong connection to the founders of the Baltimore school, having been educated by the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the oldest order of African-American nuns in the country, for seven years.

During an emotional hearing Friday, the Maryland Public Service Commission adopted new regulations intended to prevent accidental electrocutions like the one that killed 14-year-old Deanna Green at a church softball game in Druid Hill Park more than five years ago. The requirements will force state electric companies to find — and eliminate — dangerous "contact voltage" in public objects that can transmit electricity, such as streetlights, traffic...

It was all about new prizes, new catchphrases and history repeating itself in Wednesday's episode. Oh, and AC Slater was there, too. The 12 ladies tried to let their personalities shine in an interview with "Extra's" Mario Lopez, then had a photo shoot on stilts - literally. In a first in "Top Model" history, the girl with the worst photo wasn't cut. Such is the magic of winning immunity during a challenge. Because of this little twist, we said goodbye to one of our favorite models.

Forty years ago tomorrow Hurricane Camille crashed ashore in Mississippi with 190-mph winds. It was the second-most-intense storm to hit the mainland U.S. and the most destructive of the time. It flattened nearly everything near the coast. But most of the deaths occurred days later when flash floods hit Virginia, killing 153 people. Freshwater floods after hurricanes kill more people than wind and tides.

Camille Freeman, a 16-year-old senior at Wilde Lake, captains the Wildecats varsity volleyball team and is, in the words of her coach, Caitlin Geoghan, "the most vocal leader we have." This year's squad is 11-3 overall, 11-2 in the county, compiling the best record in the program's history. Freeman, a first-year varsity player, and the Wildecats will begin play in the Class 3A East regional playoffs tomorrow. Your volleyball team has been something of a surprise this year, hasn't it? Yes. The county didn't expect us to be as good as we are. We weren't expecting it, either.

"Therese Raquin," Emile Zola's 1867 novel about sexual and homicidal passion, is an unrelenting psychological horror story. But that sensation is surprisingly subdued in Olney Theatre Center's visually stunning but emotionally cold-blooded stage version. Director Jim Petosa has staged playwright Neal Bell's 1992 adaptation in Olney's intimate Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab, where a deep thrust stage brings the action up close and personal. Instead of gripping drama, however, the director's highly stylized approach distances the audience.
